I'm in the middle about this. The story material is obviously good, the acting is decent and the writing has been alright. What's really bugged me is the direction. There's been so much in-your-face cheese going on it's like I'm watching a Hallmark Movie of the Week. For instance, during the trial of the soliders during the first episode, the camera was bobbing and weaving right up Giamatti's nose most of the time. And while he was sick in bed, they did the tacky, stock "wobbly camera going in and out of focus showing he's sick" shot. The series would be a lot better, IMO, if they had stuck to more classical British-style direction... little to no camera movement, multiple angles and about 20% of the close-ups that they've done. The producers should have watched "A Perfect Spy" before making this.
